That evening, after we settle Lily into her crib, Janta and I linger in the doorway of her softly lit room, watching her drift into sleep. The tranquility of the moment seems to echo the peace settling in my heart. As we turn to leave, our hands find each other's, a silent acknowledgment of the connection we've rekindled today.
In the dim light of the hallway, I pause and look into Janta's hazel eyes. They hold a hope and a hint of the day's joy. Holding his gaze, I gather my thoughts, my heart steady in my decision. "I'm ready to give our relationship a real chance," I say, my voice confident and clear.
Janta's expression softens, his eyes searching mine for a moment before he speaks. "It's not always going to be easy," he admits, his voice low and sincere. He pulls me into his arms, enveloping me in a sense of security and warmth. "But I'm willing to face the challenges together if you are," he continues, his words vibrating against me.
In his embrace, I feel the weight of our past and the lightness of our future. The path ahead is indeed uncertain, filled with potential pitfalls and promises. Yet, standing here with him, I feel a surge of hope and excitement for what we might build together—not just for ourselves, but for Lily too.
"I am," I affirm, my voice soft yet resolute. At my words, Janta dips his head down and presses his lips to mine. This kiss, gentle yet firm, feels like a seal on our commitment—a promise made not just in words but in the quiet depths of our hearts.
We stay like this for a moment, locked in each other's embrace. my arms wrap around Janta’s neck as his hand rests on my lower back pulling me to him. His other hand cradles my head as the kiss deepens filling me with promise.
We pull away and I look into his eyes, seeing my own feeling reflected back to him. A sense of contentment settles within me.
Lily stirs and he pulls me in for a quick kiss and swats me on the ass as I turn to tend to her. “I’ll be here when you get back," he says with a mischievous smile.
I laugh as I walk away finally feeling confident that things are going to work.
CHAPTER 23
Rayna
After I get Lily back to sleep, I see Janta sleeping on the couch. Right where he said he’d be. My heart races as I watch the rise and fall of his chest. I feel emboldened after my resolution to give us a chance, and that kiss only solidified the deal. Slowly I walk over to him, and before I know it I'm running my hand along the contour of his jaw.
His large hand quickly reaches out, encircling my wrist. I gasp, startled at being caught. His eyes adjust and his grip on my wrist loosens, and he sees me.
“What are you doing?” he asks, his voice heavy with sleep.
“Nothing,” I stammer, feeling the heat rise to my cheeks as I take a tentative step back.
“Wait,” Janta starts. "Don't go. He reaches his hand out and gently pulls me to him.
Our gazes lock and the air between us becomes thick and heavy with a building desire.
“Come to bed with me,” I say shyly hoping he says yes.
“...Seriously? What about Lily? Is she?—”
“Just went back down. So, are you coming?”
With a smile he rises from the couch and takes my hand, leading me to my room.
As we cross the doorway, he turns and slips his large hand around the back of my neck, his large fingers almost completely encircling me as he pulls me flush against him.
He claims my lips with an intensity that surprises me, his tongue darting out to explore my mouth. My body melts into his as I let out a soft moan, arching against him instinctively. His other hand finds its way to my waist, pulling me even closer. I can feel the heat emanating from his skin as we press closer, our hearts racing in unison.
His taste is intoxicating, like a fine wine that lingers on the tongue. Every brush of his lips sends shivers down my spine and every tease of his tongue stirs something deep within me. The touch of his rough stubble against my cheek feels electrifying in contrast to my softness.
The room is dimly lit by the moonlight that filters through the window, casting an ethereal glow over us both. The rustle of sheets fills the air as we become lost in each other's embrace. His hands trail down my back, stopping at the hemline of my dress before slowly gliding upwards to rest on my bare skin.
His warmth envelopes me completely as he guides us both onto the bed, never breaking the
I feel incredibly exposed as I watch him slowly undress me, taking time to kiss each new piece of bare skin as each article of clothing gets tossed to the floor. His hands glide over my stomach, my hips, my thighs, tracing patterns that send shivers up and down my spine. His lips follow suit, leaving a trail of fiery kisses from my neck to my collarbone. We're breathless against each other in the warm darkness, our hearts beating wildly in unison.
The feel of his rough stubble against my soft skin sends tingles through every inch of me, making me squirm and arch into him with need. He pulls back slightly to remove my bra, revealing my perky breasts to the cool air. His fingers tease the other nipple gently, rolling it between his thumb and forefinger before capturing it between his teeth and giving a soft bite that sends shockwaves down to my core.
His hand slides down to cup my mound through my panties, and it's then that I realize just how wet I am for him already. I whimper at the sensation of his kiss. Every movement is deliberate and purposeful; it's like he knows exactly what I need before I even realize it myself.
As we continue to make out passionately, our breaths turning ragged, Janta finally pulls away from the kiss and trails kisses along my jawline up towards my earlobe where he nibbles softly causing tingles to ripple through my body.
